Am I the only one that pronounces all of these differently?
Kira/Keira - keer-ah
Kyra - ky-rah - ky rhymes with eye
Kiara - key-ahr-ah
Kiera - key-air-ah

I think they some people who spell it Kiara are saying it the way you and I see Kiera.
some people probably do see Kyra and say Keer-ah, but they shouldn't.
I would hope people aren't thinking that Kiara an Kiera are pronounced Keer-ah.
I feel that's a competely separate name.
I know some Kira's and a couple Kiara's - have never known a Kyra.
I think those pronounciations are all acceptable, given that there is an actress, Kiera Knightley (from "Pirates of the Carribean" and "Bend It Like Beckham") with that pronounciation. Also, Kevin Bacon's wife, actress Kyra Sedgewick, pronounces her name KEAR-uh.
I would pronounce Kiara as Key-AHR-uh (AHR rhymes with the word "are").
I pronounce Kiara and Kiera the same too - Key-air-uh
Kira/Keira and Kiera I say Keer-ah
Kyra I say Ky rhymes with eye rah
Kiara I say Key-R-ah
These rules go by the wayside if I met someone in real life with the name and they say it differently then I had supposed.

To each her own though.

Yep, I pronounce them the exact same way you listed.
